Canadian Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm fairly competent in front end design work. No expert, but enough to be dangerous. I'm interested in learning how to take a cloud server from scratch to a properly built, ready to scale, secure, efficient etc LAMP stack. I really have no experience in the topic. I've been going through a lot of information in the Rackspace Knowledge Center but was looking for a book or other tutorials to help me get started. At the current time, Linux is like Greek to me so a few books may be necessary. Thanks for your time and any suggestions.

NomadicJosh Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Not sure what flavor of Linux you are interested in, but I like Ubuntu, and this book may be helpful: http://www.amazon.co...n/dp/0137081332 or maybe this one: http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/0782143377 If you are interested in shell (and I think you should be) you should definitely check out this one as well: http://www.amazon.co...g/dp/013308504X If for some reason you are interested in Nginx rather than Apache Server Administration, then check out this book: http://www.amazon.com/Nginx-Web-Server-Implementation-Cookbook/dp/1849514968 Edited November 27, 2012 by parkerj Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/271256-good-beginner-book-for-web-server-administration-and-design-theory/#findComment-1395642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
